[02:03] hello [02:06] anyone how to configure the microphone to work [02:06] cheers [02:14] moo === mIgggUeL_ is now known as miggguel === a|ienware is now known as miggguel [03:03] is curl faster than wget for http and ftp downloads? or just the same [03:04] The variable is your connection, so, the same. [03:05] thanks, I'll just get the frontend for wget then === xinooo is now known as xin === xin is now known as xinooo [03:35] why only one cpu is shown in system monitor, while it's actually a AMD 64 dual core ? [04:03] uhmm [04:04] why installed xubuntu in 64 x2 [04:05] Genelyk: why not? [04:10] there used to be a utility that would diagram graphically how disk space was used, but i don't have it since i reinstalled. anybody know of anything like that? [04:11] coldhak: baobab [04:11] coldhak: it's juts not displayed in the menu, should be there [04:11] just run it from terminal [04:12] not there, but i'm installing it [04:13] ah, that's exactly what i wanted. thanks [04:24] how to create shortcuts of pidgin on desktop [04:29] anusha: right click on the desktop choose create launcher.. In the run field enter 'pidgin' [04:34] zoredache: no it is not coming.i want to create the shortcuts on my desktop.i tried it by using right click but i wasnt working.so what should i now [04:37] does anything show up when you right click on the desktop? [04:37] is there anything on the desktop right now? [04:41] on right click na it is just opening the file [04:42] anusha: when you right click. Make sure your pointer isn't over any existing icons [04:43] zoredache: it is not displaying anything .it opens as if u r left clicking on it [04:53] any security gurus in here [04:54] for some reason i have two users logged in, but it does'nt show who the other user is, like they are hiding from the "who" command [04:59] why do you think you have two users logged in? [05:03] zoredache, because i do, its not that i have another tty logged in or a pts, its a user that the 'who' command does not show, this is what is worrying me [05:03] what tool is showing the other user? [05:05] Another command to look at logged in users is the users command [05:05] have you tried at looking at the output of 'lsof'? [05:06] zoredache, anything in particular to grep it for [05:07] dhclient3 8666 dhcp cwd unknown /proc/8666/cwd (readlink: Permission denied) [05:07] that looks suspicous [05:08] use a 'grep -v' and exclude things that you know you started [05:09] zoredache, can you explain a little more please? [05:11] well lets say you where running apache. grep -v 'www-data' would filter out everything running under the www-data account [05:14] i see, so i pinpoint things running to see what might be strange [05:14] there is no way to show a hidden user? [05:15] If your system hasn't be hacked there shouldn't be hidden users [05:16] I am still curious what you are looking at or doing that makes you think ther e is a hidden user [05:16] when i rebooted, i noticed that i had two users going and the other user is hidden, i ran rkhunter and got some output about root account being enabled from sshd, and i shouldn't be running an sshd in the first place [05:17] so i'm trying to track down what the hell is going on with this mystery user [05:17] sorry about the language [05:17] you noticed how? [05:19] gkrellm [05:20] i had this problem on my old box, i got a new computer a month or so ago and had no problems, then today i noticed this was happening again [05:21] at times my internet will run slow, really slow, i'll reset the connection and it works fine for a while [05:21] mabye i should try a reboot with no network and see what happens with the mystery user [05:21] I guess [05:22] my cpu usage randomly goes through the roof for a while, mabye i'm just being paranoid but i find it all put together quite suspicous [05:22] when you said you shouldn't be running sshd. Do you mean that you hever installed openssh-server? [05:22] if sshd is running and you didn't install openssh-server then I would start there [05:24] i already removed the ssh server and shutoff the sshd [05:25] and you are certain you aren't just seeing a bug in gkrellm? [05:25] is there another program type of system monitor that will show that [05:27] i'll be right back [05:30] zoredache, it restarted with one user [05:32] and i have firestarter monitoring network connections [05:33] got an interesting tidbit [05:34] ? [05:35] well [05:35] i found an ipp address, and a whois returned some interesting info on a computer in china [05:39] sorry about that [05:42] well from what i'm gathering, its showing a portscan/intrusion attempt from china, but i'm no security expert, but a linux box is a sweet target [06:02] zoredache, they are coming from china and africa, i found some alot of sites that showed them as intrusion attempts [06:02] various ports, both tcp and udp [06:09] is your computer directly connected to the internet? [06:09] if you are on the internet you are going to get scanned a lot.... [06:17] shell is complaning about ^M on the bang line, is that the \r or the \n? [06:18] I would guess the \r [06:20] thanks :) === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [08:03] Does anyone know the command to bring up the Places menu, I want to bind a keyboard shortcut to it? [08:56] any recommended best LAN filesharing tool for Ubuntu and Windows? [09:00] Samba is the standard tool I think. Look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [09:03] ssh with avahi maybe... [09:03] or sftp with avahi [09:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218630 [09:51] can't make it work, samba is just overwhelming [09:53] !swat [09:53] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [10:07] TheSheep: I found p300 and it's really good, wooho java! [11:19] any guide on making bittorrent work? [11:20] I've tried lots of clients for ubuntu, I'm still having < 2KB/s, I've just installed 7.10 [11:24] sunabozu: 2kB/s is a sort of working :) [11:29] Hello there! Can anyone tell me how to change my keyboard layout in xubuntu? [11:30] And why should I not install flashplugin-nonfree ? [11:40] because its not open source [11:41] And how do I change my keyboard layout? [11:55] Carouselbeast: Application>Settings>Settings Manager>Keyboard>Layouts [11:55] Uncheck the "X" option and pick something else. [11:56] As for flashplugin-nonfree, you should not install it because if you do that, all your flash content will display correctly. Ideology is more important than compatibility. [12:00] Thank you [12:00] worked [16:00] this isn't normal [16:00] i've been getting portscans on my comp all night [16:03] hate to burst the bubble, but that's what Internet is nowadays [16:03] really? [16:03] thats weak [16:16] magic_ninja, are you the same guy that was worried about someone being logged into your computer last night? [16:17] cody-somerville, yea, i got it figured out [16:17] cody-somerville, never realized how bad it is nowadays [16:17] cody-somerville, found a bug in gkrellm though :-) [16:18] magic_ninja, whats the bug number? [16:18] not sure [16:18] when you log into another tty, then log back out gkrellm shows 2 users still [16:18] magic_ninja, and I assumed you reported that? [16:18] cody-somerville, na i need too though [18:53] hi [18:58] I have a problem with my font size in xubuntu 8.04, all the letters are too big and as a result I can't see everything on the screen. [18:59] i just installed today on an old desktop system with onboard video, it's an hp [21:37] Anybody using an EEE? [21:39] not I === Guest98084 is now known as Truefirr === Truefirr is now known as Truefire [21:47] I'm using an Asus EEE... [21:47] and I got it small enough with Xubuntu to have everything I need, with 630mb to spare. [21:49] I obviously added programs, such as Warzoine 2100, OpenOffice, VLC, Audatious, Skype, Netbeans, Geany... [21:49] ...and wine. [21:49] but it is the 4g.. [21:50] I doubt the 2g eee is useful [21:50] unless you use puppy, :p [21:51] I'll be writing about the EEE on my site, 'http://www.easygeek.org' [21:52] Truefire: you can fit a usable linux distro in 256MB [21:52] Truefire: of course it involves soem heavy hacking [21:53] I guess (x)ubuntu is not the best starting point for that [22:24] n8 [22:51] hellos [22:52] cody-somerville: you around? [22:52] or anyone of the marketing team? [22:52] I'm here [22:53] i have a thought that maybe useful [22:54] i just posted it in the xubuntu-users email group [22:55] under xaer0knight@gmail.com [22:59] something like that for Xubuntu.. mostly those who love Xubuntu that are willing to ship CDs out for free [22:59] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Information [23:08] so any comments? [23:09] Interesting [23:10] ya i thought it might be good for a distro like Xubuntu... because most of the light weight distros you have to pay for or download (some people dont have access to faster internet) [23:11] that and the fact Ubuntu is so popular now, also you can get it at Circity City with 60days of live telephone tech support for 19 bucks [23:12] or was it best buy [23:14] i thought it maybe fun or a good project to Alpha or Beta awhile.. a Free Xubuntu CD Program. [23:14] * cody-somerville nods. [23:15] well keep it in mind i guess.. :-D [23:15] every idea is a good idea to someone :L) [23:15] well i go to go.. wanted to get that off my chest :-D [23:15] * xaer0 = dinner time === xaer0 is now known as xaer0_BBL
